Whats the lighting?

You should try to change your cloner and next time dont dip your clone directly in your cloner has you could infect your whole bottle , take little in a spoon or something

And try splitting the bottom of the clone you took in two... Like the bottom of the branch , just cut it in half , not too high

Cloning isn't an exact thing for everybody. You may not need a heat pad if ur temps are warm enough.. U may not need a humidity dome if it's already humid enough..
One thing u can get rid of is the double-dip ur doing. Cut it off the tree @ 45 degrees, plop it straight in2 ur solution, scrape about 1cm of the plant @ the base (on 1 side only) then stick in2 ur moist rockwool.

If ur having trouble still then get urself some 2" cubes instead and try bigger cuttings with firmer stalks so they can support themselves better.

I take cuttings that would take u a month to grow from seed (size comparison wise) & I get a 100% success rate wether I'm doing 10 or 100.

Did you try any of the tactics or how 2 threads? How to clone? Successful cloning? I bet there are some great journals and how too's. Heck I have written a few good threads on it with like 9 pics

I like cloning from the tops.. It makes ur mothers bushier and creates more stems. Taking from the bottom where they are recieving little light and have effectively stopped growing will make it hard for the plant to start up again.

Just a quick point 4u.. I don't feed them any sort of nitrogen in the days leading upto cutting.. This helps the clones root quicker aswell.

Dont go too wet on the cubes, & don't spray so much.. Just enough to keep em alive. If they are getting everything they need already, then they have no need to strike roots. Plus to much moisture & heat = rot.

FUCK THOSE CUBES. Had the same Problems with rockwell cubes.
Try Rapid Rooters get'em at the hydro store.
Gotta have domes I perfer 7 inch tall dome cause I take from the top as well.
If you don't really have those rockwell cubes dailed in......TROUBLE

looks like ur trying to clone a stretched plant. u should go at least 4 nods. i like to cut a quarter inch below the last nod. i cut the nod off and i usally get the roots to form there. rather then from the base where u cut it from the plant.

Hey. What is the temp warm enough to not need to use a heating pad. I keep my temp 75f-82f and humid at 55-65% I think my Heat pad is fuckin my clones up. IDK mine are dead worse than this guy, and mine are 6 days old. Can someone type what humid & temps should be for cloneing and WATER schudule (everyone say dont water just mist). I use root plugs and they dried up and all I did was mist them but they seem like they need water. I need help because cloneing is a big thing to me cuz im doing SOG so I need to figure it out asap or it will fuck everything up.

OK I had the same problem. My heat pad was to hot and fried my clones. So you can buy, for lack of a better term, a dimmer switch that plugs in to the wall and it allows you to dial how much heat the pad gives off. So I started off with the least amount of heat and started going up and found the right temp for my enviro.
Good Luck hope this helps

i use the clonex and the same cubes you have and almost every one lives..i have no heat mat but i spray them and the dome 2-3 times a day and i take all the loer branches and bud out the rest but i do take the very top too just to get a nice even canopy and helps get buds closer to the light. read this its what i used to get started https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/297055-how-clone-alot-pictures-very.html#post3714782

I use the pucks and they worked really good.....I dunno but the tray looks a bit dry to may......you may just need to mist them much more than your doin?
